About the role




You will provide Occupational Therapy services to NDIS and Support at Home participants, working alongside clients to support them to achieve their goals and maximise their independence.
We believe clinicians do their best work when they have the opportunity to develop in areas they are genuinely interested in. Where possible, your caseload can be tailored to your clinical interests, allowing you to build experience and develop areas of specialisation that are meaningful to you.
The role involves working with clients in their own homes and community environments, with the flexibility to complete administrative and clinical work from your home office.

Support for Recent and Recent Graduates
If you're a new or recent graduate, you won't be expected to have all the answers.
We provide individualised supervision and mentoring based on your experience, learning needs and clinical interests, rather than a one-size-fits-all graduate program.
Your support can be tailored to help you build confidence, develop clinical skills and progressively work towards greater independence as a clinician.
We believe this approach also benefits experienced OTs, providing an opportunity to continue developing professionally and pursue areas of clinical interest.
